Erasure from Metamorphosis by Axon-Neuron

I wish that I were a blank slate
Clean and clear of this chalk and dust
Free from these misguided etchings
But want and wish aren't the same as need and must

Strike, score, scribble, scrawl
Markings march along this blackened wall
Left to right, top to floor
The margins explode with etchings galore

A story begins to bloom and unfold
A prince and a princess, from the tales of old
Distraction, confusion begin to take hold
The tale abandoned, no ending is told

An unbalanced equation
Solve for x, derive from y
Terms move left, terms move right
Exchanging sides of the sign

The figures keep adding
The sum towers high
The balance soon breaks
The numbers won't comply
The math is abandoned
The answer is lost
Despite all the labor
No solution is sussed

All of this unfinished work
All of these stories unresolved
These proofs left unverified
Thoughts left to soon devolve

Threads spun far out
Reaching into the abyss
Connecting to nothing
Fruition dismissed
Erasing the clutter
Removing the mess
Reclaiming the blackboard
From the rambling excess

Some things just don't pan out
Some things are just lost in the noise
Washed away by the waves of entropy
Buried under the ocean of time
